Years before Eric Brighteyes was grown, Asmund the Priest found a lone woman combing black hair above a wrecked shore. The Swan's Bath took my husband and kin; sea birds told me your name before you asked mine. You step into this one-chapter preview with Gudruda the Fair at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Gudruda met the burning eyes and understood that the hidden night had not remained hidden. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
